but israel did not respond. now, israel and hamas are spinning this differently. you have israel on the one hand saying that they were able to make a difference and cripple hamas' military capabilities by the amount of rockets that they fired and by the targets they hit. but then, you have hamas on the other hand, saying they succeeded in showing their military might by showing israel that they can hit deep into israeli cities and fire a long-range missile. so, there's a bit of difference in the way the outcome has resulted, from this recent conflict. >> and, lama, by any measure here, they're describing this as a very fragile peace. very tenuous. how important are the next few hours? >> reporter: oh, very important. they're really crucial. and that's why all eyes are on both sides and waiting to see what happens next. so far, as i was saying, we're over 13 hours, now, into this cease-fire agreement. and both sides seem to have stopped the fighting. so, it just depends on if one decides to attack the other and how the other side will respond. as i said, the region

israel accuses him of carrying out many, many attacks against israel. his funeral is today. and hamas says with this assassination, israel has opened the gates of hell. israel says it's ready to enlarge this operation. it has called up its reservists and is ready for a ground offensive. >> alex, quick question here. what does the latest strike mean for the relative stability of that region? >> reporter: well, of course, this further destabilizes an already unstable region, with the syrians war going on just to the north of us. everyone is looking towards egypt to broker some sort of deal between the militant groups and israel as they have done in the past. so far, no progress has been made on that front. of course, the big question going into an obama second term is whether the palestinian peace process could get back on track. of course, this latest development, this escalation, pushes that hope further down the road. >> all right. certainly, we'll keep an eye on that throughout the morning. alex marquardt, live for us from jerusalem this morning. thanks, alex. >>> and in o

those two rockets were intercepted by israel's iron dome defense. rob and paula? >> lama, you just showed us that clip of the secretary of state clinton. how much of an impact is her presence, just her presence likely to make today? >> reporter: well, paula, that was the hope. that when secretary clinton was in the region, she would speed up the negotiation process. she would speed up the talks. but it really is up to the two main players in this, the hamas officials, as well as the israeli officials. including egyptian officials, as well. egyptian president mohamed morsi, has been leading the truce talks. but the hope was that she would speed up the process. right now, we're still going down that diplomatic route. and we are trying to achieve a cease-fire from both sides. and a long, lasting cease-fire, is what israel said all along that they want to negotiate. they want a long-lasting peace deal with hamas. rob and paula? >> our thanks to lama hasan, live from jerusalem this morning. lama, thanks. >>> we have more breaking news from overnight. the last surviving
